A bushwalker, 23, has been missing for five days and a search for him is underway.

The search for a missing student has resumed after he disappeared five days ago in the secluded Kosciuszko National Park. The timing couldn't be more heart-wrenching, as it happens to be his 23rd birthday today. Hadi Nazari, a bright student from Melbourne, was last seen by his friends at around 2:30pm last Thursday. They were hiking down the Hannels Spur Trail between Khancoban and Thredbo in New South Wales.

According to reports, Hadi had separated from his two friends while stopping to take some photos on the trail. He had assured them that he would meet them back at the Geehi campsite. However, he never showed up. A massive search operation has been launched, with a helicopter equipped with infra-red capabilities and teams from various authorities, including Goulburn Police Rescue, Riverina Police District, National Parks and Wildlife Service, SES, NSW Ambulance, VRA, and POLAir.

Last night, Hadi's sister made an emotional plea for assistance. Zahra Nazari revealed that her brother's disappearance has caused immense distress to her and their family. She expressed concern that Hadi, an experienced bushwalker, may have had a panic attack and is unable to navigate his way back. The thought of him being lost and alone in the vast wilderness is terrifying for his loved ones.

Hadi had gone on the hike prepared with a tent, sleeping bag, and phone, but unfortunately, his phone has no reception in the area. His sister shared that the family is also worried about the potential threats of Australian wildlife. She said, "It's a remote area, and he may encounter insects or animals that could harm him." Hadi is described as Asian, slim, and approximately 172cm tall. He was last seen wearing a grey long-sleeved shirt, grey pants, and carrying a blue backpack.

As the search continues, the family and friends of Hadi are holding onto hope and praying for his safe return. They urge anyone with information to come forward and help bring him back home. The community has also come together, offering support and sending their well-wishes for Hadi's safe return. Let's hope and pray for the best outcome in this difficult situation.
